Investigation on Heat Transfer Performance and Mechanism of New Condensation Enhanced Tubes with Machined Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

At present, researchers pay close attention to heat transfer enhancement, and many new surface structures are developed. Two kinds of new condensation enhanced tubes with machined surface, namely NO.1 and NO.2, are put forward. The experimental results show that the enhanced tubes can improve condensation heat transfer evidently, which is due to the special internal and external surface structures. With water vapor as condensation medium, the enhancement ratios of total heat transfer coefficient (k) are 1.6-2.4 and 1.47-1.8 comparing with smooth tube, respectively, and the ratios of outside condensation heat transfer coefficient (ho) are 5.67-6.67 and 3-4 correspondingly. With alcohol vapor as condensation medium, the average enhancement ratios of k are 3 and 2 times as great as that of smooth tube, and the ratios of ho are 3-4.25 and 2.25-3.5 correspondingly.
